Aboriginal Peoples: The Mi'kmaq: Newfoundland and Labrador Heritage
__
"Historians and archaeologists differ as to when the Mi'kmaq first came to
Newfoundland. Newfoundland Mi'kmaq oral tradition holds that the Mi'kmaq were
living in Newfoundland prior to European contact. There is some historical
evidence that the Mi'kmaq were living in Newfoundland by the 16th century, and
by the 17th century there are increasing references to the Mi'kmaq in the
historical record." History and culture - illustrated - From Memorial University
